I am petrified of flying
Right from when I boarded this seems like a ticking bomb!
Do you know how stressed I am?
I suppose you know the pilot is the one in full control of this flight?
I know all that
Then why are you shifting gears on my hand?
- Hahn? - Hand... in hand
- Sorry - It's okay
Is this your first time?
No, I've flown 4-5 times
But I haven't been able to get rid of the fear
Pccht! This is normal turbulence You shouldn't get stressed out
Are you a frequent flier?
I make at least 5 trips a month
You must have watched the news last week too
The flight to Delhi zip zap zoomed at rocket speed and exploded in mid-air
Yes, I know Were you in that flight?
Not me, you should've been in it
Your prayers would have saved everyone
Was that a dig at me?
Next time you travel just wait and watch
That was my normal crazy humor and you are cursing me!
I wasn't cursing you
Nothing bad will happen
In sha'Allah!
Are you a Muslim?
Don't I look like one?
Look wise-
- Oh! Then you wouldn't have spoken to me - Of course not
I have so many Muslim friends
We get bucket loads of 'biriyani' during Ramzan and Bakrid, you know
Only 'biriyani' triggers your memory of us?
Not true at all, in fact I'm attending a Muslim wedding in Ooty now

See my status
Please avoid this kind of friendship
I don't get it
Not our friendship I meant here
'She's a royal pain!'

Why so many banners within the city today?
Ruling party's conference
'They just left some space to walk and covered the city with banners'
What is this? Isn't it over-overboard?
This is far better, dude
Last time it was in the middle of the road
Last time a girl died too, right?
Poor thing!
People have short term memory
'A small diversion'
Seetha Lakshmi
Tell us something about the groom
Nothing much, good boy
I've known him for a couple of years
'He's my colleague'
Do you know anything about the groom's famil-
'I don't know much about his family'
But obviously they must be good people too
Don't you know anything else?
I asked by mistake Look out of the window!
Dude, shouldn't we know about the groom?
That's why I was asking her
Why have they parked the truck in the middle of the road?
Stop the car
- Vanakkam, sir - What is this?
Flat tyre, sir
- Blocking the road in peak hours? - Sorry, sir
Clear it fast
- Inconveniencing the people - Hurry up

Swami, shift the barricade

Hey! Seetha
I'll be back
I need a small favor from you
Hand over this burka to the bride
Why should I give it to her?
You know these game shows held in weddings as part of all the fun?
This game is a tradition from king Babar's times
When girls stand in a line wearing a purdah
by simply looking at their eyes the groom has to identify his bride
- Novel game - Interesting, right?
That's why someone she doesn't know should give it to her
- Okay - Take it
This is just between you and me
Zarina?
- Hello? - Syed, tell me
We've planned it perfectly for Moorthy and you to elope
You don't worry
- My brother- - Pccht! I'll handle your anna
My brother, da
- Bhaiya, this is Syed - What is the matter?
This is Moorthy My childhood friends
Actually we studied in the same school
A girl will give you a burka in the make up room now
Come straight to the car park
- Yasmin - I've seen him in school
But she studied in a girls' school
[humming 'Meherezylaa']
Hi, I'm Seetha
- Hi - This is for you
Don't worry, the groom is really smart!
He'll identify you easily
Wait and watch
Crackpot?
Why are his eyes so red?
Got tanked last night, huh?
What's up, Seetha? Had our 'biriyani'?
Yellow
What 'yellow'?
Don't turn immediately
Right shoulder Yell-ow
What 'right shoulder'? What 'yellow'?
Dai! This is code word
I'm just helping you
I can't understand a single word
That 'burka' game, da
You should identify Zarina looking at her eyes, right?
What are you blabbering?
If you're hungry go eat 'biriyani'
'Absolute loony case'
'Has Iqbal arrived?'
- 'Came last night - His father said he would come too'
- 'Get in - That side'
'Hurry up, someone may see her'
Moorthy! You really kept up your word
'I am so happy'
'I love you, da'
Wretched fellow! Get into the car
Did I come from Dubai to see you smooching?
They have kidnapped the bride!
Dai!
Hey! Move your damn lorry
- Got any brains? - Blocking our way, move it
'Queen of the Hills Ooty limit ends Thank you, visit again'
Zarina, won't your brother head back? Will he keep following us?
He may kill me after we are married
He won't back off He'll follow for sure
Sure, huh?
My stomach is somersaulting slightly
If you feel so sick for this? Main chase has just begun
Many more chases to go
Aiyo!
Did we kidnap her in haste?
Moorthy, I've left my life behind and come trusting only you
- Having second thoughts? - Not like that
Now they are here to drive the car for us
If your brother comes next week? I don't know to drive a car
I'm taking a learners' license for 2 wheeler now
Think thrice about it! Why complicate your life?
I am wondering too!
This question was for him
- Height of madness! - Syed
Speed up and stop taking digs at me
Looks like you'll get divorced before you get married!
Just zip your lips!
Did you inform Shanmugam at the registrar's office?
Finalized everything
'What about the train tickets?'
'Tickets booked Our boys are waiting there'
Aiyo! What happened?
Don't stop Let's just go
He's hurt, man
Don't touch him Wait for the ambulance
Bloody fool! He is breathing

Sir, what is happening here? Why did you bring us here?
You should take us to the police station
We know the law too
You almost killed a man and you are teaching me about law?
What is the speed limit on that road?
In normal speed will he be-

Sometimes we may miss and guess wrong
Tell me what will happen next
Next, huh? Both of us will go to the wedding hall

Together, huh?
No chance
I don't travel that easily with strangers I just met
Here, take my card details

Even if I have a boy baby I'll name him Seetha in your honor
- Aiyo! Go - Thanks
- Bye - Bye
By the way, that girl Seetha is Irfan's friend
How did she help you?
I told her our love story Her heart just melted
'Forced to listen to his reel-talk'
'Queen of the Hills Ooty limit ends Thank you, visit again'
Did you inform the registrar's office?
Finalized everything
- Train tickets? - 'Booked, our boys are waiting'
We just have to reach safe
Hey! Why this sudden brake?
'What happened? Tell us'
No, da
This is where I saw
Please, sir, save me They are chasing me to kill me
- Who is he? - Save me, sir
Please, sir Save me
- Sir, open the door - 'Lock the door'
- Sir, please open - 'Lock the door'
Hey... hey! Don't-
- Start the car, sir - Why did you give him room to sit?
[babble of flustered voices]
- Start the car, sir - Get down, man
They are planning to kill the Chief minister
- Okay... okay - 'Who are you?'
Start the car, sir
'Don't push me out, sir'
- The police are here - Why is he running?
Rafiq, wait
- Don't run, Rafiq - Why is he running?
Catch him
Who are you?
- Get down - I don't know him
- Come out - He was blabbering about CM
- My wife, sir - How do you know him?
Minister's son is my friend Let us go, sir
Sir, we don't know him He just got it and blabbered
- Sir - 'What happened?'
Sir, no problem
- 'Rafiq?' - We have got him
- 'Where are you?' - It is that road-
- Near the wooden bridge - Yes, sir
Won't you do justice to any task assigned to you?
Who are those boys?
They are on the way back from a wedding, sir
I think Rafiq has blabbered something
You-
Who are you?
Sir, my name is Moorthy
We are all friends I'm getting married today
So we are going to the registrar's office
Did he tell you anything?
Sir, we don't even know him
He got inside suddenly and said
- Said CM will be kill- - Hey!
Shut up! Why blab all that?
We shouldn't hide anything from the police, da
- John - Sir?
- Collected their ID proof? - Yes, sir
Do we take them to the station or send them on their way, sir?
I'll do the honors
'Pantheon of Gods and demi gods, save me'
Sorry... sorry
Sorry, I was scared and I held your han-
- Are you okay? - It's okay
It's okay, I'm fine
This turbulence triggered something-
It's okay, even I'm scared of flying
I understand
'Won't you be careful?'
- 'Blind, huh?' - Get down later
Come a bit later Saying it for your good
Vanakkam
Excuse me
Excuse me please
I'm feeling so happy, machan
First day is about to start in my new life
Have you arranged everything?
Finalized everything, machi
'Informed Shanmugam Train tickets booked too'
- 'All we have to do is pay him' - Pay, huh?
Pccht! Don't you feel all this is on rewind mode?
Huh... what?
Going to Ooty Whisking away Zarina
This car chase
What are you blabbering? You just landed from Dubai
Only now we are driving to Ooty to kidnap Zarina
That means, it's repeating only for me
So this is a fresh day for both of you
It's a fresh day for everyone
What's up with you?
'You stopped boozing too'
- 'Jet lag, huh?' - Dai!
What are you blabbering?
Will we kidnap Zarina?
- We'll do it again! - Whaaat?
Kidnap again?
Aiyo! We will kidnap her, okay?
- My life is at stake, dude - Spare me the over act
Please
"May happiness be with you Grace and good will too"
"Endless love in embrace always Joy is multiplied in all ways"
'Get into the car'
Hurry up
All okay
Get in, that side
Come, dude, soooper!
- Zarina, quick - We can go
- Ready-ready - All set, machi
Take this left, machi
Why have you stopped here?
Won't we reach if we go straight?
We can take that route but it is circuitous
Doesn't matter if circuitous
Let's go straight
Exchange garlands
"Meher is gladness and grace Kindness and kinship always"
"May you be happy forever With love, luck and laughter"
"Love plus hugs surplus Joy is multiplied limitless"
Zarina, take good care of him
Dai! We have only 10 days left
By then I'll get her VISA and organize everything
- Okay - Till then you take care
- What is the time? - It is getting late
- Here, machi - Thank you
- Getting late - No punctuality at all
They always delay the departure
- Sir? - Yes, sir
Any problem, sir? Why this delay?
Don't you know? Our CM was shot in a conference, sir
'Public transport has come to a standstill'
'Muslim terrorist killed Chief Minister Arivazhagan'
Sir, is it cancelled then?
'In a conference organized by MMK party'
'Chief minister of Tamil Nadu was assassinated by a Muslim terrorist'
'When he was addressing the crowd in the conference'
'In an unexpected moment a terrorist in the crowd'
'Shot the Chief minister who died on the spot'
'This has resulted in religious riots in many parts of Coimbatore'
'Traffic has come to a standstill'
'Police forces have been summoned to maintain law & order in the State'
- They have come here - Keep quiet
- 'Bhaiya' - Don't worry, I'll handle it
Sir, listen to me They are married
- Bhaiya, please - 'Son of a gun'
What happened?
'Lord Shakthi, save me please'
'Lord Muruga, Anjaneya, Vinayaka and the pantheon of Gods, protect me'
Fool! Won't you be more careful?
'Wait, dear'
'Activist Tamizhvanan was hurt in an accident, sir'
'For your sake I want to toil 24x7 and give up my lif-'
'SIR, YOU ASKED ME TO SHOOT!'
'Go... go, keep moving'
So the same day is repeating for you
So you are on rewind-replay mode
So all the events are repeating for you
I'll break your skull into two
- Sparing you because she's here - Okay, peace... peace
Machi, I've watched an English movie just like this
Hero's day will keep repeating
Title is-
Groundhog Day
Some name like that
Not something similar, ditto
Not just that one film
Happy Death Day Part 1 and 2
Edge Of Tomorrow Russian Doll
Korean film 'A day'
Tons of such films
But no film has elaborated why this happens to the hero
That means you will die today
Then we don't kidnap Zarina?
Hey!
Whaaat? You plan to kidnap Zarina?
That's a different film Old one, 'Naadodigal'
What he is trying to tell you
Our classmate Shanmugam was deeply in love from 1st year
Hey! Did she ask you for all these details now?
Daily do you know why I'm repeating it to you?
Do any of you realize?
Because I can't keep doing this like a broken record
Pccht!
What is the solution for this?
Will you mind if I tell you something?
I won't Tell me
No... this is about Hinduism
All are human beings
- Tell me - Okay
So there is something known as center of the earth
Earth is anyway round
So don't ask me why the center?
This is the center for Time
'Actually when the British were ruling this world'
'To calculate time for their own convenience'
'... they fixed the mean solar time at their Royal observatory in Greenwich'
'Only with that as yardstick we now calculate GMT+5, GMT-2'
'Before the British invasion'
'Pakistan was part of India'
'At that period of time, Ujjain was the center of the whole world'
'That city has a temple consecrated for God of Time Kala Bhairava'
'Kala Bhairava is also known as another avatar of Lord Shiva'
'During that period'
'This same 'day loop' has been experienced by a few people'
'You must have read Vikramaditya and 'vethal' story'
'That is a kind of day loop too'
'Same event will keep repeating'
'Even that story took place in Ujjain'
'Similarly, in that period, a king in Ujjain faced Time loop'
'The king understood his purpose'
'Only after he constructed a bridge for his people'
'... did the loop stop according to History'
'Even your day-loop may be something like that'
All these years, I thought all this is just a story
But when I realized you are actually living it
I feel it is really history repeating itself!
I don't understand your stories, Seetha
But I know Ujjain
Because
I was born there
'My father was working in Ujjain then it seems'
'Suddenly my mother had labor pain'
'My father drove my mother to the hospital'
'At that time because a mosque was demolished'
'Hindu-Muslim riots took place all over India it seems'
'The windshield was broken in the commotion'
'When my father was clueless how to protect my mother'
'A Hindu family took my parents to the nearby Kala Bhairava temple'
'The lady shut the temple door to ensure the safety of my parents'
'She doubled up as midwife and attended to my mother then'
'I was born there'
'A little while after my birth'
'... when they opened the door and peeped out'
'The riots had stopped it seems'
There you go
You are a Muslim born in a Hindu temple
That too in Kala Bhairava's temple
Your day is on time loop mode
That means Allah and Lord Shiva have merged
to make something emerge through you
What about Jesus?
As you wish
The entire pantheon of Gods have joined hands
to make something happen through you
My theory may even be wrong
But no, there is a definite purpose
That purpose should be within this day-loop
- 'What is your name? - Abdul Khaliq, sir'
'John, he is correct, eh?'
'For your sake I want to toil 24x7 and give up my lif-'
'SIR, YOU ASKED ME TO SHOOT!'
'Chief minister of Tamil Nadu was assassinated by a Muslim terrorist'
'What should we do for our nation's welfare?'
Those who love this nation should have no wants or woes
Who loves this nation and the people of this nation?
Are you able to see?
- We can see - Yes, we can
Do you recognize him?
'Rafiq, listen to me'
Blue tooth Fix it in your ear
- Why all this? - Just fix it
Let me go, sir
Hey! Fix it
'I can't hear your response'
'Where is the bag? Give it'
My beloved people who are like the pupil of my eye
'Our beloved leader'
'The pulse of my mind'
'The echoing spark of my heartbeat'
Where, sir?
'My deepest true conscience'
'Ties who knit our Party in kinship and protect'
'Lion hearted youngsters'
Tamizhvanan's sudden demise
'... has speared my heart'
'Like a bullock ploughing through a mire of obstacles'
'Troubles will vanish to one who struggles'
'Pearls of wisdom by our Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar'
That is how
I have crossed the rivers of fire that accosted me
I have broken and cast aside each and every stumbling block
- 'Rafiq' - Sir?
'Want your family to be alive or not?'
Please leave me out of this, sir
- 'Just do as I say - I'm scared, sir'
'Take the gun out of the bag'
'I will count till 5'
Sir
'Shoot our CM on the stage'
For your sake
'Five'
'Four'
'Three'
'Two'
- 'For your sake I want to- - ONE'
Sir
I didn't shoot him, sir
- Shit! - Who are you, sir?
'Why are you nabbing me?'
- Oh! - Let go of me, sir
Just come with me
Hey! Listen to me
Who are you? Leave me alone
Do you know my family will be killed?
I know where your mother and sister are
Where, sir? Are they okay?
They are fine Who told you to kill the CM?
Who forced you to kill our CM?
Asst Commissioner Dhanushkodi
- Dhanushkodi? - Yes, sir
Anyone else?
- Tell me his name at least - Find out where he is
Sir, anyone-
- TELL ME - Anyone els-
Hey Rafiq!
- What are you doing over there? - Dhanushkodi, sir
- Save me, sir - Come here
Hey! Who are you?
What did I tell you? What are you doing? Come on
Wait, I know everything, sir
You hired some other killer And making him the sitting duck?
'Why are you staring at me?'
I won't let that happen
HEY!
Who are you, huh?
How do you know our plan?
WHO ARE YOU?
"Destroy"
- Hurry up - Sir
Follow me
Sir
Hey! Rafiq
What did you do?
Stop
'I have crossed the rivers of fire that accosted me'
I have broken and cast aside each and every stumbling block
This blessed land has been ruled by the Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas
'You have given me the honor of ruling the very same sacred land'
'I don't know how I can return this favor, I feel indebted'
I struggle to express myself bereft of apt words to do justice
'Till the last breath in my body'
'For your sake'
For your sake I want to toil 24x7 and give up my life-
'12th MMK Annual Conference'
[police siren wailing]
Hey! Get everything ready, quick
- 'Have you left? - I'm going now, bro'
Masthan ji
All okay?

Getting late, go... go
Make it fast
'Load it in the car, hurry up'
'You heard him? Double quick!'
'Stack them'

Hey... who are you?
Hey! Blue coat
I'm talking to you How did you come inside?
"Destroy"
Finish him off
Come on
Where are you staying?
Who the hell are you?
You have the gall to hit our men!
Who the hell are you?
I asked you where you are put up and you dare hit me!
We were all set, anna
Some chap barged in and is bashing up our boys
Where are you staying?
- Tell me - Covai International
Where is it?
Give me the address
Where the hell is it? I'm asking you
Avinashi road
Covai International Avinashi road

[door bell buzzing]
Keep this gun with you Any hassle, shoot him
Nothing will happen
Just in case
Don't even think about it
Shut... shut it
[mobile ringing]
- Khaliq? - Where is Rafiq?
We nabbed him He is in our custody now
Super, dude
Okay
What happened?
He's making us kidnap strangers instead of my own bride
Let's go
'Like a bullock ploughing through a mire of obstacles'
'Troubles will vanish to one who struggles'
'Pearls of wisdom by our Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar'
'This blessed land has been ruled by the Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas'
'You have given me the honor of ruling the very same sacred land'
Till the last breath in my body
For your sake I want to toil 24x7 and give up my life
'And I consider it a great honor'
Long live Thamizh!
Hail every Tamilian by birth!
[praying fervently]
I have crossed the rivers of fire that accosted me
'I have broken and cast aside each and every stumbling block'
Then
You saw that chap in a brown shirt?
Please, sir, leave me out of this
He will take a gun out of that bag slowly
'Even then I've never lost hope'
'But now'
Is he the assassin?
That's what I thought too
Look at that scaffolding
Can you see a cameraman on top?
- He is the real assassin - Whaaat?
You've seen a sniper in films A long gun, to shoot from a distance
- Yes - That's the murder weapon
Do you know his target?
Our CM who is making a brilliant speech over there
This blessed land has been ruled by the Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas
You have given me the honor of ruling the very same sacred land
If we don't scoot now we are done for
Hurry up... come
[gun shot]
- Drop your gun - Cop will shoot him
YOU ASKED ME TO SHOOT!
He didn't kill our CM
That chap is the real assassin
Look, how he's climbing down a picture of innocence
Clobber him
Call for additional force
Look! That cop over there
He is the main culprit behind all this
Who?
Don't overact too much
You can't hold a match to him!
Hey! Do something fast
You go
'Hey! Move... move Don't stand here'
DAI!
Hey! I know, man
I know you are the main culprit
You connived and plotted
Now acting as if you are controlling this commotion?
I thought you were only framing an innocent Muslim after killing our CM
You have instigated a religious riot
If a man kills 100 innocent people in USA, he's a psycho
Same case, if a Muslim kills is he a terrorist?
How many more years will you use religion and caste as baits?
And play your dirty politics?
Can't you handle politics in a straight forward way?
You will instigate terrorism and terrorists for your bloody selfish needs
Should we be twiddling our thumb?
I won't spare you
Pay attention to me
This riot won't happen
Neither will you be able to segregate us
I won't let you sever our bond
Challenge?
Who are you?
Mad or what?
Chief minister is dead
Riots have begun
News has spread all over
What do you intend doing?
Maximum, you can kill me
If you do?
Can you turn back the clock?
Will everything change?
It won't change if I kill you
I'll come
I'll come back
'Are you the reason all along I have been caught in this time loop?'
'If you die, how is it I'm stuck in this day-loop in time?'
'Are you the reason all along I have been caught in this time loop?'
'This blessed land has been ruled by the Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas'
'You have given me the honor of ruling the very same sacred land'
'I don't know how I can repay this debt of gratitude'
FIVE
'Four-three'
Two-one
What happened?
Hey! That chap, rewind... rewind
Hey! What are you up to?
Did you nab him, da?
Anyone else?
- Tell me his name at least? - John, check to your left
- TELL ME - Sir, any-
Hey Rafiq!
You hired some other killer
And making him the sitting duck?
Dream, huh?
I don't think so
Night conference
Day-
What is today?
Thursday
Convention was at night
Why am I getting up on this repeat-
Why am I getting up on this repeat loop mode?
HEY!
I don't get it
Why am I getting up on this repeat loop mode?
Good morning, sir
Hey! Watch it
Didn't you slip here just yesterday?
No, sir
I joined duty only today
Hahn?
- You didn't fall yesterday? - No, sir, I had taken the day off
Ask housekeeping to clean it up
Okay, sir
So...?
This day is on repeat mode only for me
How is it possible?
'MMK is holding a State Conference in Coimbatore today on a grand-'
How is this possible?
'In this conference today our Chief minister-'
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Hit our target according to plan
Shiva
Here, finish your task at the conference and head straight to the hall
15 minutes after the CM's murder the whole State should be a riot-zone
Instigate a religious riot all around Coimbatore
None of you are here What are all of you up to?
We were all set, anna
Some chap barged in and is bashing up our boys
- Who, da? - He's wearing a blue coat
Wearing a blue coat?
John, did you find Rafiq?
Sir, I'm on my way to catch him
We are running out of time, da
Who the hell is changing my carefully laid out plan?
[shouting slogan]
It is neither Rafiq
Nor the hit-man
Bomb exploded successfully
Zoom in on that boy
That chap with a beard holding a gun
Hey! Round up that chap
Dai!
You have instigated a religious riot?
You hired some other killer And making him the sitting duck?
Who are you?
Maximum, you can kill me
If you do?
Can you turn back the clock?
It won't change if I kill you
- Good morning, sir - Good morning
Hey... hey! Watch it
- How many times to tell you? - Sir...?
Ask housekeeping to clean it up
Okay, sir
I'll come
I'll come back
What is this weird concept?
If he dies
I turn up
How can I explain this and to whom-
How is it poss-
I caught you, right?
Be ready for a face-off!
Watch my game now
'Don't know why but sir seems to be very stressed out'
So if you die
you come back the very same day, right?
Not if I die, sir
If he dies, same day, same time I am back to square one
What the hel-
What do you take me for?
Do I look like a simpering idiot?
If he dies, how will you come back?
How can anyone get caught repeatedly on the same day and date?
What is your hidden agenda?
Do you want any posting by the central Govt?
I'll make arrangements
Don't spin these magic yarns like Vittalacharya's film
Sir, I was also clueless all along
Only now it is beginning to make some sense
- How do I make you under- - I know
I understand only too well
I will be sworn in as Chief minister tomorrow
You can ask me whatever you want, uh?
My dream come true after 30 long years
Sir
- What is it? - I have corrected as per your order
'My speech today?'
- Yes, sir - Warm welcome to one and all
Moron! Spelt welcome as 'well come'
That's how it was spelt in Google!
I am greeting all of you
Why isn't anyone responding?
Why have we gathered here today?
Is it to collect votes?
For our Party?
'For our sake?'
Or for our family?
Not at all
- Nation's sake - Did you tell him?
What should we do for our nation's welfare?
Those who love this nation should have no wants or woes
Those who love the people of this nation should be healthy and happy
Who loves this nation and the people of this nation?
I can see it crystal clear in front of my eyes
Are you able to see?
- You clear out - Can you see for yourself?
Where is he?
Is he here?
Is he on this dais?
Who is he?
I can't hear your response
Oh! Has he got a green shawl around his shoulder?'
- I've heard enough - He is our leader
- We should vote for him - I'll tell them
We should vote only for him
I'll tell them, relax
What is happening here?
Not 'what is happening?' It 'happened'
You spoke on the dais I saw it crystal clear
Repeat of the replay
I don't need any prompting, sir I have memorized your dialogs
Then you mean to say
You've already witnessed this conference?
Yes, sir
As per our plan Rafiq stood by the barricade
Hit man shot from above Chief minister died
He made his grand entry then, sir
He came, he shot, died, repeat
He will come today too
He will shoot, die, repeat
I can't take this any more I just can't, sir
Who is he?
Is he some kind of magician?
I don't know, sir
Then why aren't you taking any action?
He seems to know all our plans First nab him and kill him
Sir, he shouldn't die
If he dies, no conference and you can't be sworn in as CM
I won't get 2 silver stars either
If our conference should be held without any hitch
he shouldn't die
Oho!
Now
What should we do?
I don't know anything about him, his background or his agenda
But to some extent I know the people he knows
I will nab him, sir
I'll get him
Hey! Who are you?
- Who is sub inspector Kripa? - I am S.I Kripa
Dhanushkodi sir called me I am sub inspector Salim
He said you shouldn't keep Rafiq's family in custody here
Not safe it seems He asked you to shift them
He didn't issue any orders to me
He told me
Don't trust me? I'll call him if you like
"Destroy"
- Rafiq's mother, right? - Yes
I'm Rafiq's friend I've come to save you
Get up, let's hurry up Listen to me, quick
We don't have time, ma Trust me and come with me
Let's go
Hurry up
Right... right
"Destroy"
Did you meet Rafiq, son?
Is he alright?
They have planned to kill our Chief minister using Rafiq as bait
Aiyo! He told me he was in some problem
Is this what he meant?
You don't worry
Take this phone
Look at this camera and share whatever happened to you
We live in Kasim Nagar in Coimbatore
Claiming my husband was involved in the 1998 Coimbatore bombings
The police arrested him
'Then he was released They arrested him once again'
'Because of this continuous ordeal he couldn't find a decent job'
'His health deteriorated too and he passed away'
'Then to keep the fire burning at home my eldest son Rafiq dropped out of school'
'He got a good job and took care of us'
'When he applied for a job overseas, in the hope of earning a decent salary'
'... his passport was confiscated due to his father's police record'
'Police officers came to our door and took my son to the station'
'If he didn't comply with their orders'
'... just like his father they threatened they would brand him a terrorist too'
'Somehow he managed to escape'
'He called me one day'
'And told us to come to Abdul vapa's house at once'
'When we were leaving for the safe place Rafiq told us'
'The police caught us and locked us up in a bungalow'
'After that I have no idea what happened to Rafiq'
'I got no information about his whereabouts'
'I don't know why our Allah is giving us such grief'
- 'What is it?' - I'll take care
Hey... hey Rafiq
Your mother is here
Hey! You are-
Dai!
Hey... hey!
Shucks!
Pccht!
What do you want?
Sorry, I think I got the wrong room ♪
- Okay - Sorry, sir
I'm sure he said #414
How did that change?
[whistling]
Hey!
Come on... come on... come on
Yeah... yeah Faster... faster
Come... come
Stop right there
What is this?
Careful... careful
Hey... hey
Is he okay?
Hey!
Rafiq?
Hey!
This blessed land has been ruled by the Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas
You have given me the honor of ruling the very same sacred land
'I don't know how I can return this favor, I feel indebted'
'I struggle to express myself bereft of apt words to do justice'
Long live Our leader!
Till the last breath in my body
For your sake I want to toil 24x7 and give up my life
'And I consider it a great honor'
Long live Thamizh!
Hail every Tamilian by birth!
What is it, da?
Highly confusing, huh?
Shooter is in the place of Rafiq
Police have usurped the shooter's place
Rafiq who has to kill the CM is shooting you instead
The bomb meant for CM's car explodes in the crowd
You are puzzled, right?
Hey listen!
This day isn't repeating only for you, da
If you die, it repeats even for me
Yeah
Why is this happening?
What is the purpose? And how is it happening?
You and I are in no way connected
But it is happening to us
Something is happening, so be it I'm not bothered about that
But for me
As per plan
The conference has to be held
Chief minister has to die Rafiq has to be blamed for his death
Riots should be widespread
That's it
Sir, how many times will you continue to blame one section of our society?
We can never come out of this, sir
Don't do this, sir
Hey! Why are you dragging 'society' into this?
Do you know who these people are?
Puppets who lead the life we plan
Just puppets
According to our plan, news should only be about the assassination of our CM
Next, in 'Bigg Boss' the reality show
if I instigate a fight between Pooja and Jughead
Entire Tamil Nadu
All the families, for 1 month This will be the topic
Then people will move on to IPL and World Cup
That's all their attention span
Why are you feeling so bad for them?
- Sir, your assumption is wrong - HEY!
Don't test my patience
Don't you get what I'm saying?
If you try to save those on the dais
I'll ensure the bomb explodes in the crowd
If you try to save the crowd I'll target the speakers on the dais
Even if you die a 1000 times then reappear to try and save him
I will also reappear a 1000 times to accomplish my mission
And you know what?
It will be a never ending story I just want to put a fullstop to that
That's why I wanted this bloody meeting
You got it?
Hey! Your eyes don't convince me you have reformed, da
If you die just one more time and try to abort this conference
I'll make sure you are aliiive to watch me kill each and every loved one of yours
Your mother, father, relatives, friends
It will be a genocide of sorts
And I make sure
You will cross that date and lose your near & dear ones
I'll make your loss a reality
You know, no?
I'm capable of doing this
So... hereafter
Let's not meet again
[TV News]
Hey! If the CM has to die let him by all means die
Just cross the day and move on, like he said
How can I do that?
He has killed 100s of people in front of my eyes
CM has to die for some damn reason for a random man
He shouldn't get caught, so he is making a religion the scapegoat
That's why he is instigating riots
To shake that unjustified blame on them
do you know how many generations have to bear the brunt to be freed?
This CM will die, someone else will occupy his seat, he will also exit
He will be succeeded by someone else
But this blame
It will never change
A few years ago a leader was assassinated
Do you know they targeted this section of the society?
Now I have my doubts on even that conclusion
That day she told us
Allah and Lord Shiva have merged to make something emerge
Do you know what that purpose is?
This conference should not be held
Is it enough if this conference is cancelled?
- Then won't they kill the CM? - Let him be killed
Let them try poisoning him, push him down the steps or even in the hospital
That is not my problem
Only if you kill him in a public gathering
A particular religion or section of our society can easily be blamed
So I'm saying this conference should be aborted
When the CM was speaking in the conference
he was assassinated
When we had the murderer and Rafiq in our custody
they planted a bomb in the car
They could've planted the bomb on the dais and killed the CM
So someone on the dais should not die!
Bingo!
In the film 'Sarkar', why did Varalaxmi Sarathkumar kill her dad?
For the Chief minister's post
Similarly Mugilan kills his dad
For the same post
Did I hit the nail on its head?
But Mugilan was in the car when the bomb exploded
- Is that so? - Then it can't be Mugilan
Then someone else on the dais is the culprit
Where can we find Mugilan now?
Over there
'Tamizhvanan sir's demise'
'... is an inconsolable loss to Tamil society and Hindu religion'
'The friendship we shared'
'Brother, contact me
'No... no, India under my control'
'In this grief-stricken time'
'Even if we do not have the mindset to hold a State level conference'
'We are going ahead with our plan due to the necessary situation and circumstances'
- Hello, sir - 'Vanakkam'
I'm Seetha speaking
Mr Khaliq's personal assistant
Remember, you met him on the flight today?
Yes, tell me
Sir, actually my boss is... er
He is flying to Mumbai to meet Ambani on urgent work
Ambani, huh?
Should I convey anything to the business tycoon?
Not necessary, sir Thank you
Is there any possibility for him to meet the CM's son by tonight?
We are together in a particular place
We have come to condole someone
How do I tell-
Sir, we need only 10 minutes
Find out from sir and let us know
Because if the deal is clinched we can transfer the funds today
Can the funds be transferred immediately?
Definitely, sir Minimum 500 crores
- Really? - 'Yes, sir'
To hell with protocol, dear If the nation will benefit
Be it a wedding or a funeral I'll arrange a meeting immediately
'I have sent the location via WhatsApp, dear'
I got it, sir Sooper!
Last rites of Tamizhvanan, leader of Hindu Religious Protection Party
is being performed at his residence
Hon'ble Chief minister Mr Arivazhagan who is visiting Coimbatore
paid his last respects to Mr Tamizhvanan
Walk to one side
Good looking chick!
Hello, brother
You are here from Dubai on some business deal, I was told
What business?
- Don't hesitate - Tell us
Sir, it's true I've come from Dubai
But not to do business
What... what are you saying?
Sir, 1 minute, please wait
Sir, our CM will be assassinated in tonight's conference
Trust me on this, sir
Somehow we wanted to pass on this information to you
When a big event is planned such rumors are common
This isn't a rumor I swear this is true
They are planning a religious riot using Rafiq as a bait, sir
Please believe me
- Sir - Hello
Yes, sir
Do you realize where and what you are accusing?
How can this even happen with our tight protocol and security?
Even I will be checked before I am allowed to enter
You seem to have a fertile imagination!
Sir, I am not imagining any of this I am telling you a fact
Sir... sir, please listen to me
Uncle, I'm leaving CM wants to see me urgently
Look into this matter and then send him away
Sir, I can prove this I swear, hear me out, sir
Can this be discussed here?
Sir, I am in no way connected with this
- You are connected, come - Believe me, sir
- How could you trick me? - Please explain to him, sir
Hey, where are you off to before I can park the car?
Call me after you reach the Canon showroom
Sir, my head is splitting
You said, 'join me as an ally in my party'
'I will change your life topsy-turvy'
Is this what you meant?
I feel as if both my kidneys are popping out of my mouth
You've hung me up now like a Christmas decoration, sir
Please have mercy on me, sir
Hey brother, you dangled a carrot of 5 billion to me!
I trusted you implicitly
And you have suspended me in mid air in my underwear!
Leader sir, please show mercy on me
'All of you have ganged up and hung me like a goat in a butcher's shop!'
'My rear end hurts like hell, sir'
'Manickam'
'Son of a bum!'
'If some random stranger dangles a carrot worth 5 billion'
'... without enquiring the authenticity will you bring him to the CM's son?'
'What kind of muddy-politics are you dabbling in?'
Hey, what is your connection with Tamizhvanan?
'Tell me'
You plan to kill the Chief minister?
If I want that post I have no other option
'After assassinating him'
thrust the blame on terrorists
We should instigate a religious riot
Then a series of riots that should shock Tamil Nadu
'Road blocks, fast unto death and different kinds of protests'
You blame the Party for misrule
Then, according to seniority
I'll be sworn in as the next Chief minister
I need your cooperation for that
If it comes from you
Party members will pay heed and the general public will also accept
Get up
GET UP
You are my best friend
That is why I am still courteous towards you
If I had known you were here with a plan to kill our dearest friend
I wouldn't have let you step into my house
Forget this despicable plan
I didn't want anyone to get wind of this
That's why early this morning I orchestrated his death
'He has told you in that short time frame?'
Whom else has he snitched to?
Sir
I don't know this man
Then who else told you?
The only person I know
Dhanushkodi
Dhanushkodi, huh?
Hey, are you playing the fool?
I'm not playing anything, sir
He is the one playing a royal game with you as pawn
- Hey, call Dhanushkodi - Right away, sir
Are you calling him? Got the guts, go ahead
- If you have the guts do so - I said 'call'
- Yes, sir - Call him
Wait and watch, my leader will kill all of you
When I'm here, who is this so-called 'leader'?
You are the leader for only this group
But Dhanushkodi is my one and only leader
Damn-
Called him?
- Bring it - Here, sir
Leader, they are threatening me
They want to beat me up and kill me
Dumbo! Line isn't even connected
Sir will definitely pick up
- Tell me, leader - Don't try to 'lead' me on
Trying to play a double game with me?
Why, leader?
All perfect What's the problem?
You accepted money from me and putting a spoke in the wheel now
He has snitched to Mugilan
Bloody! Has he turned up again?
- Then were you expecting him? - 'No, sir'
Then you are both hand in glove as traitors
Hear me out, sir
Don't get confused or tense
I'll come in person and explain everything, please
Wait, let me kill him first and then pickle you to pieces
Leader...!
Leader... leader sir... sir!
Nothing should happen to him, sir
'It is your duty to ensure he is alive'
Take a hike!
Why the eff are you so concerned about him?
- 'Aiyo! Listen to me' - Come... come in person
I will kill both of you
Oh God!
30 years ago, 1000 hands lifted the Party flag 120' long
If one hand belonged to Arivazhagan the other was my hand, mind you
In 'Abolish Caste System' protest
He stuck his head on the railway tracks
- Sir... sir - Ask him to scrutinize that photo
If one head is his the other is-
What is it, I say?
Someone has come claiming to be their friend
Ask him to come in
- 'Vanakkam, sir - He is their friend'
Thank god you came, dude
I was so worried you had got away scot-free
Sir, he is also our friend Get a chair next to me for him
'Come... come Tie him up along with us'
Sorry, sir
I think I got the wrong address
- Clear out - They aren't my friends
Sorry
- 'Wait, da - Tell me the truth'
Tell me, I say
If you know step by step, a secret only Dhanushkodi and I share
What have you both planned?
Even if you thrash me my lips are sealed
[spluttering rage]
Hey! I'll kill you
Even if you kill me I won't open my mouth
He is pulling a fast one He doesn't know anything, sir
In fact, none of us know anything Why are you holding us captive?
What wrong did we do?
Sir!
Sir
'How could you do this to him, sir?'
Then can I kill her?
How do you know this? Don't act innocent
Please, sir I don't know anything
How dare you hit a girl? You call yourself a 'man'?
- Fight with me, man to man - I'm coming
Come on, if you're man enough, kill me
Come... come... if you are gutsy enough
Go ahead Kill me
No, leader
'He should not die, sir'
'No, leader'
No, sir
Super, leader Soooper, sir
Leader, huh?
Just like you said, they beat me up to cough up the truth, but you bet I didn't
What are you blabbering?
I'm not blabbering, sir Everything is smooth, as per our plan
What is the plan?
That's exactly what I'm asking What is the plan?
Plan is to make you CM
Aiyo, sir! Why are you wasting your precious time?
Press the trigger now
Untie me please My whole body is aching
Hey! Bloody well shut up! I will kill you, da
Exactly what I'm saying Kill him, da
Aiyo, leader!
I am telling you my leader won't kill me
Hey! Shut up, da
Scumbag, you shut up!
You tell me Why won't he kill you?
If he kills me, you'll become the CM
Will you shut up?
Leader, he is confusing you
If he dies, you can't become the CM
You are the one confusing me
Leader
Please believe me
If you want me to believe you you have to kill him
Didn't you hear me? He won't kill me
My leader disapproves of you becoming the CM
I'll kill you I will kill you
- Shoot him - I'll kill you
You are repeating it but not shooting
So tell me now What is this coalition?
Leader
He has found out, sir
HEY!
I won't kill him, then you will be CM in your grave!
- I should kill you - Kill him... kill him
I should kill you I should kill you first
All my problems will be solved
If he dies, you'll be CM in your grave!
Just listen only to what I say now Otherwise I'll kill you and go my way
Understand?
Leader
Isn't there a gun in my hand?
If he and I had planned behind your back
I could have shot you and got away scot-free, huh?
Shoot, leader
Shoot me
I won't agree, sir
I can't bear to see my leader being killed right in front of me
If you want, take my life, sir Kill me instead, sir
HEY!
My dear leader, we've been working hard 30 months for this day
Please listen to me without asking me why, where, what
That boy over there
If he dies
you can't become the CM
I'll handle everything, sir
Trust me 100% and attend the conference
You are our next Chief minister, sir
Dhanushkodi
So far whatever you told me I didn't understand a single word
But
I trust you
- Leave it to me, leader - 'Hey'
'Untie Manickam and throw him under the bridge in Aathupaalam'
'Leader, Aathupaalam?'
What did I tell you?
You told me not to come back
What did I say I'll do if you turned up?
If I did
you said you would spare me alone
And kill all my friends and family
I told you so?
What happened now?
Whatever you said happened
I did it without realizing, sir
Temerity
Temerity to think you can pull it off by dying on replay mode
'You will not die, da'
All that happened will be on replay mode once again
Let the dead remain dead
We are going to cross this freakin' day
Alive
I didn't think of the repercussions, sir
I swear
I didn't know this would turn out to be of such immense magnitude, sir
All of you are big shots, sir Very powerful
Who am I in comparison?
Just a common man, sir
Unknowingly I somehow thought
I was impulsive and foolhardy
I believed I can help turn back the clock, sir
Grave blunder on my part, sir
I swear I realize now what you did is right, sir
That's what you will do, sir
Even if you kill me you still have the same day, sir
I swear I won't come
Trust me, sir
You are a brilliant actor
But you know what the problem is
I am fully aware too you are drama king
Sir, I'm not acting
Why should I act, sir?
HE IS MY FRIEND
You shot my friend, sir
He was to get married, sir
I don't even know that girl, sir
Poor thing, that girl, sir
That man has 2 children, sir
They trusted me and came, sir
How are they responsible for my blunder, sir?
I swear I won't come back, sir
Kill me just once more
Please, sir I am begging you
Please, sir Please, sir
I'm convinced
But I don't want to take a chance
Sir... sir... sir, no, sir
It wasn't intentional, sir
I swear I won't come I promise you, sir
'Please, sir Please, sir'
'Kill me just this time Please, sir'
- 'Sir... sir' - Guys
SIR... SIR... SIR PLEASE, SIR
- 'Sir, don't go' - He shouldn't die
Sir, I won't come back
I swear I won't come back, sir
'DON'T GO, SIR'
SIR... SIR
PLEASE PLEASE PLEEASE!
I can't bear this All of them are dead
My friend is dead What will I do?
ALLAAAAAAH!
Did you enquire what that fellow was blabbering?
Nothing, he is just a humbug
Talking off his hat to be in the limelight
But I informed our Asst Commissioner of Police
He has promised to tighten the security
My dear friend and Law minister Mr Paranthaman made a brilliant speech
'How many misdeeds crossing honorable limits'
'How many atrocities'
'I have encountered all these hassles'
Our leader himself has told us
Seetha
Near your leg Look over there
Push it towards me
Come on... come on, Seetha
'I don't know how I can return this favor, I feel indebted'
'I struggle to express myself'
'Till the last breath'
Push... push
Machan, look there
Aiyo! Come on, push
HEY!
DAI!
HEYYY!
Good morning, sir
Hey!
Can't you see the sauce spilt there?
How many times to warn you and how often will you fall?
Sir, what are you saying?
[sputtering]
DO AS I SAY
Get out!
- Si... sir - GET OUT!
HEY!
How did you die?
I'll get even with you
HEY!
'In Coimbatore today, a State conference is to be held organized by MMK Party'
How is this possible?
'The conference to be held this evening'
Something doesn't fit
Thamizh... Tamizh
What is your connection with Tamizhvanan?
Tamizhvanan
'To keep it under wraps'
'Early this morning I orchestrated his death'
Early this morning
'Activist Tamizhvanan was hurt in an accident'
'Road block Drive straight down'
'Tamizhvanan can convince the CM'
Hey... hey!
Start the car
Hey! Speed up
- Where should I drive to? - Gandhipuram bus stop
Ask that car to move
How did Tamizhvanan sir meet with an accident?
You are...?
- Press, sir - Oh!
While he was crossing the road, he was hit by a water tanker
- Sir, time? - Just now, around 9:30, swami
Hey Jai Kumar Ask him to move his car
'If I come early, I can save him'
Hey, get down Get down
What are you doing?
[honking]
Shit... shit... shit
Shit!
HEY!
How do I get there even earlier?
'Hey!'
HEY!
Shit!
DAI!
Hey security!
'I will join along with my party volunteers in the conference scheduled this evening'
'Not only Tamil'
'But he raised me also'
'I owe it to my father's elder brother'
'MMK's senior statesman'
'Nation's anchor'
'My uncle, Mr Arivazhagan'
SIR
Sir... Tamizhvanan sir
Hey! Find out who he is
Tamizhvanan sir
Who is this, coming in the opposite side?
Tamizhvanan sir
Who are you? What do you want?
SIR
Si-
Sir
Sir, Tamizhvanan sir
Sir
SIR
Tamizhvanan sir
- He is going to kill you, sir - Who-
They plan to kill you, sir
- What are you saying? - Tamizhvanan sir
Shit!
Why, da?
Huh?
Go and nab him
Hey!
'Dai! Stop'
Hey! Stop
Stop right there
Hey! Stop
I'll shoot you
Hey...!
Don't shoot him
Why, da?
Why do you kill me by dying repeatedly?
"Destroy"
DAI!
Come today
COME, DA
- John, flight landed? - We are waiting like you said
On the runway, sir
Remember this
Blue coat, blue t-shirt
Without moustache, he'll look just like a Muslim
'You nab him as soon as he alights'
Bring him out through the Cargo exit
Even by mistake don't use the main entrance
Glass will break and he will escape
What if the glass breaks, sir?
John, just listen to me
You nab him and come out through the Cargo exit
I'll be there in 4 minutes
Hey... hey! Stop Stop... don't go
- Aiyo! Sir - What?
Sir, he jumped out through the Emergency exit and is running
What?
Hey!
Sir, am I taking you to the airport now?
What the eff will we do there?
HE JUST SCREWED UP MY PLAN!
HE JUST NAILED MY COFFIN!
Sir...!
- Get in, sir - Who are you?
'What are you up to?'
Who is he? Nab him
Who are you? Why did you drag me into your car?
They planned a hit & run accident to kill you, I've saved you
Who is planning to kill me?
Didn't Paranthaman confide his plan to assassinate the CM?
How do you know this?
I know everything, sir
Some fellow drove in, whisked Tamizhvanan into his red car
Swift car, sir
Phut! PHUT! PHUT!
He wants to kill you because he's scared you'll tell the CM about his plan
We must somehow cancel today's conference, sir
In spite of all my advice-
Are you sure about this?
I am dead sure about this, sir
Of course I am sur-
Aiyo! How do you think I'll know what both of you spoke, sir?
Did you invite him in person?
Yes, sir, last evening I went to his residence and invited him
- Leader - What?
Mission accomplished?
No, sir, we ran into a snag
What is it?
Tamizhvanan has been kidnapped
All that isn't a problem Set it right now
'Call me once you are done'
I am with our CM here
Who is it?
Our men of course
Please listen to me, sir Conference should not be held
Somehow you have to stop it
How can I in the last minute?
How do I believe this crazy plan?
Sir, you have no choice
Go back slightly
That's the one
Follow that car
Madhukar road John... John, Madhukar road
'He has taken Tamizhvanan'
'Red Swift'
6677
Okay... okay
Block him near the paper factory
SPEED UP, JOHN
He is on Kuniyamuthur road
Go to 4th cross street
Sir, he is driving past the factory, over
Follow... follow
Go inside
Hey! Where is he?
You go there Look for him in front
Sir, I've crossed many hurdles to get in touch with you
Sir
If I let go of today-
Dhanushkodi knows how and where I came from, entire history
He will erase whatever happened today into oblivion
Rain or shine I have to meet CM today, sir
'Where will our CM be now?'
Sir, he is behind you, nab him
Sir...?
Hey!
Go... go... go, get him
Round up... round up
OUT!
Come out
Step out of the car
Come out
"Destroy"
Sir... you?
Where is he, sir?
Who is the 'he'?
[shouting slogans]
Sir
- I... sent for him - Okay, sir
You carry on
What about Tamizhvanan?
He has been caught
Very good
Why are you still tense?
But the kidnapper escaped
How does that concern us? We want only Tamizhvanan
- He is equally important, sir - Who is the 'he'?
The kidnapper
What are you saying?
I've already told yo-
'Already' told what?
In your dining-
What 'dining'?
Even in your factory?
What 'factory'?
I've told you this repeated-
Why are you confusing me like Nolan's film 'Tenet'?
What are you trying to tell me?
Nothing, sir
I'll handle it
Listen
This is a milestone day in my life
Don't mess this up
Come up with me
Sir, what is it?
I don't know
Sudden palpitation
I feel a shooting pain in my chest
I don't think I can attend today's conference
Paranthaman, do this for me?
Go ahead and preside over the conference
What is this?
You want me to preside all of a sudd-
Conference-
Shall we do this instead?
Let's consult a doctor, check-up on the way and then attend the confer-
No... no, uncle
I've never seen our leader in pain like this
Something isn't alright
We can... hold the conference
We can ask sir to speak 'Live' streaming from his residence
Mugila, what a juvenile idea!
We have spent so much money to organize this conference
So many invitees from various districts are attending
This is the base for the coming election
Besides, you think they are coming to see you and me?
They will be satisfied if they see their beloved leader
Won't they be disappointed otherwise?
Why don't we do this instead?
Last 10 minutes
If you show your face on the dais
All is well that ends well
If I attend the conference for 10 minutes
you will close my chapter, right?
I heard it He told me everything
- Hey hey! - Who are you?
- Security! - Tamizhvanan sir sent me
1 minute, sir
Please watch this, sir
'Arivazhaga, believe whatever brother Abdul Khaliq tells you'
'He is my messenger'
'Paranthaman has planned to kill you in the conference'
'He wants to camouflage it as a major religious riot'
'He tried to kill me too'
'Khaliq brother saved me'
'So kindly listen to me'
'Do not attend the conference'
Okay
From the day I started my Party
Tamizhvanan and Paranthaman have been my 2 pillars of support
If Tamizhvanan is saying this all of a sudden
I just can't believe it
Sir, you have to trust him
Aiyo! How do I-
They plan to assassinate you on the dais by Rafiq
They want to brand him as terrorist and instigate a religious riot
Spoil the tranquility of Tamil Nadu
He wants to step into your CM shoes, sir
This is the truth and that's the reason you should not attend today's conference
He can't abstain totally from attending the conferen-
Shall I call ACP Dhanush-
Aiyaiyo! Sir, he is THE criminal
Fraud, sir Listen to me
I don't know how to make you understand
Aiyo! Sir 1 minute... 1 minute
Try this, sir
Tell Paranthaman you are not attending the conference
Just try telling that, sir
He will insist you attend, sir
Hey!
Who are you?
You seem to have spoken like my own conscience?
Yes, man
30 long years
My political dream 30 years old will finally come true today
What kind of Party are you running?
First you asked me to present you as leader
Is this your game plan?
For generations if this is continued
when do I become CM?
Should we hold a flag lifelong and keep saluting you in deference?
Why shouldn't we aspire for power and position?
Instead of bottling up all this rage and resentment
you could have been upfront and spoken to me
I don't have such an intention
Don't try to pull the wool over our eyes
We are witnessing everything daily
Initially in our Party posters and banners
we had your photo, mine and then his
I'm just an insignificant also-ran What does that mean?
Hey! Arivu
Whether today's conference is held or not
I will organize a memorial service for you
- And then be sworn in as CM - Hey!
Leader
Why are you wasting time?
Let's do what we planned to do at the conference
What does it matter if the CM dies here or on the dais?
What does it matter if the assassin is Rafiq or Abdul Khaliq?
It's all one and the same
Hey!
Dai... dai!
Leader
Didn't I tell you someone kidnapped Tamizhvanan?
That's our man here
He is the one who will kill the CM too
Bonus is CM's son
Terrorist killed our CM
'We nabbed him alive'
Next CM is you
You get your medal, man
Sir, are you okay?
Guar-
GUARDS!
Sir
'Temerity'
'Temerity to think you can pull it off by dying on replay mode'
'Even if you die a 1000 times then reappear to try and save him'
'I will also reappear a 1000 times to accomplish my mission'
'If you die just one more time and try to abort this conference'
'If I let go of today'
'Dhanushkodi knows how and where I came from, entire history, sir'
'He will erase whatever happened today into oblivion'
ALLAAAH!
DAI!
Khaliq brother?
'Sis... sister?'
'What is today's date?'
11th October
11th, huh?
10th... 10th is over?
Sir...!
Oh!
Feels like an entire film has been shot!
Relax, brother
'Abdul Khaliq'
I don't want to simply say 'thank you'
And dilute the most precious help you did to me of saving my life
Sir, I don't know what to say
How did these events begin and how did they end?
It's all a haze, sir
Sir, what happened to the conference?
Conference!
Conference wasn't held
Paranthaman's memorial was conducted
'Mugilan being shot and the events that followed were covered up'
'And the memorial service was held'
In the end you made the villain a hero, sir
That is politics for you, my boy
Sometimes, even a good man is arm twisted to play a dirty hand in politics
Politics has good policies, sir!
'NEWS HEADLINES'
